Graduate Opportunities

Peabody Energy is the world’s largest private sector coal company. With products that fuel more than 10 percent of America’s electricity supply and three percent of global demand, the company is well positioned to meet growth from electricity generators and steelmakers worldwide. With 10 operations in Queensland and New South Wales, Peabody is actively pursuing growth plans with a view to being a long-term participant in the Australian Coal industry.

Peabody’s mission is to be a leading worldwide producer and supplier of sustainable energy solutions which power economic prosperity and result in a better quality of life.

Peabody has an ongoing commitment to Graduate development. We view today’s graduates as tomorrow’s leaders. Our two year rotational program in Australia has been designed to ensure our graduates receive varied and challenging development across a broad range of business functions and operations.

During the two year program, graduates rotate sites approximately every six months – gaining exposure to both open-cut and underground operations throughout Queensland and New South Wales. Peabody also has opportunities for international postings in the United States for our Graduates of The Year.

We have a structured training program encompassing both ‘on and off the job’ components. Peabody is committed to continuous improvement and the graduate program has a review and feedback mechanism built in so that any development needs can be addressed through specialised training and/or work activities.

On top of all this, Peabody offers its successful graduates a competitive remuneration package, relocation assistance, accommodation, performance bonus and approved further study!
